Use fnmatch.filter instead?
>>> source = ['logs', 'rqp-8.2.104.0.dep', 'rqp-8.2.93.0.dep',
'rqp-win32-app-8.2.96.0-inst.tar.gz', 'rqp-win32-app-8.2.96.0-inst.tar.gz']
>>>
>>> import fnmatch
>>> fnmatch.filter(source, '*-win32-app-*-inst.tar.gz')
['rqp-win32-app-8.2.96.0-inst.tar.gz', 'rqp-win32-app-8.2.96.0-inst.tar.gz']
